A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"Beryl, just put the puppy down." Emily didn't think she would have to tell Beryl twice to put the puppy down, "Did you hear me?" she asked again.

"Mommy, the bad guys are coming!" Beryl jogged to her, and put the puppy down. The puppy scurried away instantly.

Emily looked up and saw the man nearing them. She froze in place. What was Jack doing here?

"Miss Lu, What a coincidence!" Jack looked at her and Beryl with a gentle smile plastered on his face.

Emily's heart was beating rapidly as she tried to hide Beryl behind her. Then she suddenly felt conscious as if Jack would notice that she was purposely hiding her daughter so she remained in place, "Oh, such a coincidence."

She knew that her secrets would be divulged one day but she didn't expect that that day would come so soon. Like now. She should have prepared herself before she flew back to this country.

Jack just wanted to clear things out but Emily seemed to have forgotten, "She looks just like you, is she your daughter?"

Beryl piped in, "Mommy, he told he was my dad just now."

"..."

Emily clenched her fists but her face was calm, "He's not your father. Jack, this is the last time you're going to talk to my daughter and this is the last time you're going to play such a cruel joke on anyone."

"Miss Lu, listen to me, I can explain."

"Beryl, go wash your hands and don't touch the puppy anymore." Emily said completely ignoring Jack as she pulled Beryl inside.

Jack stepped forward and blocked Emily from leaving, "Miss Lu, whether or not you remember the past and whether or not you are Cloris or Emily or whoever you are, I just want you to know that Beryl is my daughter."

"I don't know why you left in the first place but now that you're back, I'm not letting you go," Jack added.
